TNT'ers think they are racers

I guess brackets/index racing will dominate if there aren't any true Heads Up classes (with rules) for slower heavier less expensive to build cars, and I mean first to cut the beam wins, the faster you run the better, I can understand why we don't have that here in the UK although we did, but a bit surprised that you guys don't seem to have it either, anything HU seems to be in the 6>7sec zone or in the 4's>3's for 1/8th racing, thats out of your average racers budget. I wonder if there were HU classes like that how many would ditch brackets/index racing for it?......then it would be back to what D-racing is really all about and throttle stops/backing off/leaving after the other car would be a thing of the past, surely most would want to run their cars all out to their max performance in a race where both of you left at the same time and were on a performance par, then it would be down to tuning skills/chassis set up etc., and not money.

there are a TON of heads up racing classes here in the states. truly honest here since im one of them. testing is needed and changing out parts for more testing to get faster and faster is where the winners take the losers or class fillers as we call them. the pocket books are the seperation nothing else. you just can NOT out spend a rich man willing to blow his load of money for a .001 extra off his best et. he will buy and sell amd rebuy till he is faster than the rest. test test test is the mantra in heads up racing circles. if your not testing your not trying to win. even here we have a stock block class. thwt means you have to have a stock production block from a vehicle to race. all else do what you can with it. including turbo, blower or spray. it is still an extremely fast low 5s high 4s class. there just is no way to slow todays cwrs down. small tires, stock suspension or stock block classes are going to just be badass fast. technology is here to stay and it makes things fast with ease. still money or pocket depth is almost always the winner.

the only thing ive seen compete with a pocket book man is guys who biuld a car together with 2 pockets to better their chances. not exactly my way of doing it but i see this a lot. father/son, father/daughter, best friends, business partners, brothers, cousins, etc... that is how they compete on a big big scale. i am one man with no friends and im on my own. i can only hope my life long experience and knowledge is an advantage for me. sheer determination to beat on my **** till it breaks to win as well. i hate to be the loser and i wont take it well. so i know my drive will be something else. my success in every sport ive ever done in my life tells me ive got a massive advantage most just wont have. so hopefully my pocket books doesnt kill my chances in the end. only time will tell once im out testing and racing this year.
